I deplore four public executions carried out today in Badghis (2), Farah and Nimroz provinces #Afghanistan & reiterate that these executions as well as corporal punishments carried out by the Taliban in public are clear violations of international law and must stop immediately.

Over 1.3M Afghans are displaced within & beyond national borders, with host countries bearing the burden of prolonged instability.​ ​IOM's 2025 Crisis Response Plan seeks USD 594M to assist over 5.1M people across the region.​ 📄bit.ly/3G67kIf 🌐bit.ly/4jvdEaI

Together with other UN experts, I urge the Taliban to immediately stop their capital & corporal punishments, including floggings (210+ people since start of 2025). Turning executions into public events is indefensible. See full statement below 👇 #Afghanistan

While much of the world’s attention has focused on the political and security dimensions of this conflict, another crisis has unfolded — one that will haunt #Afghanistan for generations. My latest with Zekria Barakzai responsiblestatecraft.org/afghanistan-wa…

“The water, soil and air of #Afghanistan are polluted due to decades of explosive substances that have not been cleaned up, affecting public health, particularly child health. All parties to the conflict are responsible,” UN Special Rapporteur Richard Bennett Richard Bennett tells us for Responsible Statecraft

Daily reports show Taliban oppression of Afghan women and girls worsening. Meeting 🇺🇳 UN Special Rapporteur Richard Bennett and Forozan Rasooli 🇦🇫 re UK Government strong, continued focus.

Devastating reports of suicide of young woman in Ghor #Afghanistan. My thoughts are with family. Investigation & accountability needed. Systematic gender oppression also requires more mental health support. For those struggling, talk to others, incl. professionals. There is hope

World Press Freedom Day, May 3, is a powerful reminder that freedom of expression is crucial to the realization of all human rights. I urge the Taliban to immediately release all detained #Afghanistan journalists. Please view my WPF Day video here 👇

#AI shapes what we see online—& our reality Algorithms can control what news we consume or ignore. When media freedom is restricted, so is our right to be informed & ability to think critically I urge leaders on #PressFreedom Day: act for a free, transparent digital media space

Reposting here my statement for #WorldPressFreedomDay2025 with subtitles in Pashto and Dari. #Afghanistan

I received reassuring clarification from #Switzerland Removal practice to #Afghanistan based on ethnic criteria was "never under discussion". Important, as conflating Pashtun identity with Taliban support/safety in Afghanistan - by anyone - would be false, discriminatory&harmful

I support UN Special Procedures statement on #Gaza by Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt & my thematic colleagues urging immediate international intervention to stop “one of the most ostentatious and merciless manifestations of the desecration of human life and dignity”.

Critical funding shortfalls threaten the increasing needs of crisis-affected people in Afghanistan, particularly for 7.3 million people, 70% are women and girls. Read more from UNFPA Afghanistan afghanistan.un.org/en/294801-wome…

Last week in #Afghanistan de facto authorities publicly flogged at least 63 males & 4 females. These gross punishments that violate int'l law have increased massively in 2025 & must stop. A stark reminder that Taliban must not be normalized and no Afghans abroad forcibly returned

When #ruleoflaw breaks down, the powerful do as they please—& the rest pay the price Int'l law is the quiet force behind everyday protections, & our defence against chaos, cruelty & corruption If we don't strengthen it now, we risk losing it when we need it most👇Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung

Wishing a blessed Eid al-Adha to all Muslims. May this festival bring hope for a future where every individual lives with freedom, dignity, and equal rights. To Afghans, your strength in the face of adversity is truly inspiring. #EidAlAdha2025 #Afghanistan

I join Volker Türk in his deep concern and his call for the prompt reconsideration and withdrawal of the US sanctions against four women judges at the ICC who had been part of rulings on the situation in Afghanistan and Palestine. #Afghanistan #internationalcriminalcourt
